Element List | Explanation |

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is | Sales for the current period decreased by 21% compared to ‎the same period last year, mainly due to a decline in retail ‎segment revenue caused by the closure of several stores.‎ |
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is | ‎- The loss increased compared to the same period last year ‎due to higher production costs at the farm during the current ‎quarter.‎ ‎- Another reason for the loss compared to the same period ‎last year is the previous period's inclusion of other income ‎from the expropriation of company buildings by the ‎government in Jeddah, which positively impacted operating ‎profit last period. ‎ |
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the previous one is | Sales in the current period dropped by 4% compared to the ‎previous quarter, primarily due to a slight reduction in the ‎wholesale segment.‎ |
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit (loss) during the current quarter compared to the previous one is | The net loss decreased by 80% compared to the last quarter, ‎as no provisions or impairment losses were recognized, ‎unlike the previous quarter. ‎ |
Statement of the type of external auditor's report | Conservation |
Comment mentioned in the external auditor’s report, mentioned in any of the following paragraphs (other matter, conservation, notice, disclaimer of opinion, or adverse opinion) | ‎1.‎ As of March 31, 2024, the net book value of property, plant, and equipment, capital work in ‎progress, and right-of-use assets (collectively referred to as "assets") were disclosed in the ‎company's interim statement of financial position at SAR 110.09 million, SAR 26.56 million, ‎and SAR 12.07 million, respectively. Due to the significant decrease in cash generated from fish ‎and shrimp farm sales and other commercial operations, and the accumulated losses incurred by ‎the company in the current period and previous years, the company's management conducted an ‎impairment assessment of its assets as of March 31, 2024, by comparing the carrying amounts ‎of the assets with their recoverable amount. As a result of the management's assessment, it ‎concluded that there is no need to create an additional impairment provision for its assets as of ‎March 31, 2024. We have examined and tested the judgments, assumptions, and significant ‎estimates used by the company's management, including determining appropriate valuation ‎methodologies. In our view, some of the significant assumptions and sources of information or ‎inputs used in calculating the recoverable amount were not reasonably supported. If the ‎company's management had used reasonably supported assumptions and information sources, ‎some elements in the accompanying interim financial statements and related disclosures might ‎have been materially affected. The impacts on the interim financial statements have not been ‎determined.‎ ‎2.‎ As stated in note (6) of the interim financial statements, it indicates the company's management's ‎inability to determine the fair value of the fish as of December 31, 2022, due to the lack of ‎appropriate tools for the inventory process. Consequently, it was shown at cost amounting to ‎SAR 12.9 million as of that date, constituting a departure from the financial reporting framework ‎requirements. We were unable to access the relevant financial information related to the change ‎in the fair value of the fish in the interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive ‎income for the three-month period ended March 31. Therefore, we were unable to perform the ‎procedures we deemed necessary.‎ Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern We draw attention to Note (5-2) in the attached interim financial statements, which indicates that the ‎company incurred a net loss of SAR 8.96 million for the period ended March 31, 2024, and the ‎accumulated losses of the company amounted to SAR 265 million as of that date, representing 66% of ‎the company’s capital. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2024, the company’s current liabilities exceeded its ‎total current assets by SAR 50 million. As stated in Note (5-2), these events and conditions indicate the ‎existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue ‎as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.‎ |
Reclassification of Comparison Items | Certain items and disclosures of the comparative year’s ‎financial statements have been reclassified to comply with ‎the current period presentation.‎ |
Additional Information | Total accumulated losses at the end of the current period ‎amounted to SR 265 million, equivalent to 66% of the ‎capital as of 31 March 2023. The company is confirming its ‎adherence to the procedures and instructions issued by the ‎capital market authority for the listed companies in the ‎Saudi Stock Market whose accumulated losses have ‎reached 50% or more of their capital. ‎ ‎- In reference to the qualified opinion (1) mentioned in the ‎auditor's report on the impairment of non-financial assets ‎of the company as of March 31, 2024, the company would ‎like to highlight the following:‎ In compliance with International Accounting Standards, ‎specifically IAS 36, and based on the valuation results ‎conducted by the certified valuer, it was found that the fair ‎value of the fixed assets exceeds their carrying amount. ‎Therefore, it can be concluded that there is no need to ‎record an impairment loss on the assets during this period ‎according to the latest report received from the certified ‎valuer in this regard.‎ ‎- Regarding Qualified Opinion (2) mentioned in the report ‎attached to the financial statements concerning biological ‎assets, the company has evaluated the biological assets ‎‎(fish) starting from the third quarter of 2023 in accordance ‎with accounting standards, and this evaluation was ‎approved and accepted as of December 31, 2023, which is ‎currently in effect.‎ |
